  "I don't see myself just being a housewife.  In fact, when I joked out, 'Honey, I just wanna be a housewife.'  [Sabi niya], 'Yeah, right. Ikaw? Magwawala ka!'  Hindi siya naniniwala kasi madali akong ma-bored, e.  Kailangan sa akin spontaneous palagi," answered Cheska Garcia when asked if she sees herself giving up her career to become a fulltime mom.

Cheska was sure that Kendra could have a sibling in the future because she loves having a baby in the family.  She said, "May mga times na naiisip ko, 'Sundan ko na kaya si Kends?'  Kasi, sobrang saya ng mayroon akong daughter around, talagang masaya.  Mas masaya siguro kung mayroon pang isa."

Cheska advises moms, don't miss a single moment with your growing child. 

"You enjoy your time with your child," she encourages.  "Kasi, alam mo, before you knew it, lalaki na sila.  Alam ko, mahirap 'yong late nights, 'yong wee hours in the morning na magpapalit ng diapers, 'tapos fragile pa ang anak mo kaya mahirap magpaligo, siyempre, 'yong mga sakit that comes with having a child talagang kulang na lang ma-heart attack ka. Those will all pass also in time. 

"You enjoy your time with children.  Make a bond with them para paglaki nila, mayroong connection.  Mayroon silang takot, but not in a bad way, parang mayroon silang respect towards you." 

MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF.  Cheska admitted that being a mom can be very demanding. Sometimes a mother would lose time for herself, having to look after the needs of her child and her husband as well.

But the celebrity mom said that mothers should not forget to pamper themselves once in a while.  For instance, Cheska related that she'd be going out on a date with Doug after the presscon. 

"I dress up for him, that's why I'm dressed up today because later we'll go out on a date.  We dress up for each other. Siyempre, you have to spice it up a little, di ba?  So, I make it a point that I dress up for him, I look nice for him.  And siyemore, 'yong lambing, di ba?" she said about keeping the love alive between married couples.

The Us Girls host also stressed, "There's no problem in focusing your time with your baby and your family. But you also have to focus your time on yourself.  You also have to feel good for yourself.  If you feel good for yourself, you'll feel good for your baby, you'll feel good being with your husband.  Hindi naman lagi na 'yon lang ang environment mo.  Siyempre, you have to feel so fulfilled as a person, di ba?  Sa ibang tao, fulfilled na sila na ganun ang ginagawa nila.  Ako, personally, parang there's should be time for everything."
